|
|
WHEREAS, A rich and purposeful life drew to a close with the |
|
|
passing of Allen W. Duhr of Cedarburg, Wisconsin, on May 6, 2017, at |
|
|
the age of 78; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Born and raised in Richland Center, Wisconsin, Al |
|
|
Duhr was a 1956 graduate of Richland Center High School, where he |
|
|
excelled academically and distinguished himself as a three-sport |
|
|
athlete; his achievements earned him induction into the school's |
|
|
Athletic Hall of Fame in 2009; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, After graduation, Mr. Duhr received a bachelor's |
|
|
degree from the University of Wisconsin--Madison and an advanced |
|
|
degree from Marquette University; he also answered his nation's |
|
|
call to duty and served from January 1962 to November 1963 in the |
|
|
United States Army; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, In 1969, Mr. Duhr cofounded a concrete pumping |
|
|
supply business, Construction Forms Inc., and he enjoyed a |
|
|
rewarding career there that spanned nearly three decades, until he |
|
|
and his partners sold the company in 1996; following his |
|
|
retirement, he relished spending more time with loved ones, and he |
|
|
and his wife, Peggy, began to exchange the bracing winters of |
|
|
Wisconsin for the balmier ones of Bradenton, Florida; over the |
|
|
years, he was also a dedicated advocate for numerous worthwhile |
|
|
organizations, which he supported through the Duhr Family |
|
|
Foundation; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Although Al Duhr will be deeply missed, those |
|
|
fortunate enough to have known him will remember the way he touched |
|
|
their lives with his kindness and generosity, and he will forever |
|
|
hold a treasured place in their hearts; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Allen W. Duhr and |
|
|
extend sincere condolences to the members of his family: to his |
|
|
wife, Peggy Duhr; to his children, Paul, Kim, Susan, Stephen, Lisa, |
|
|
Kellie, David, and Sarah; to his grandchildren, Cassidy, Lindsay, |
|
|
Carrie, Sarah, and Naomi; and to all who mourn his passing; and, be |
|
|
it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for the members of his family and that when the Texas House |
|
|
of Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of Al Duhr. |
